Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
The show begins with rapturous applause from the audience, strobe-lit flashes of each original band member--Nick Rhodes, Simon LeBon, and the (unrelated) Taylors John, Andy, and Roger--and they're off. The reunited Duran Duran, filmed during a two-night stand at Wembley Arena in 2004, plunges into "(Reach Up for the) Sunrise," before launching into old favorites like "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Something I Should Know." LeBon keeps the stage patter to a minimum; it's all about the music. On occasion, the Armani-clad quintet are joined by statuesque singer Sara Brown ("Come Undone," "Notorious," "The Reflex," etc.) and sax man Andy Hamilton ("Union of the Snake," "Rio"). As expected from a band that came to fame during the height of the video era, film and anime images are projected during certain numbers, such as "The Chauffeur," "Careless Memories" and "A View to a Kill" (grainy Rhodes-shot images of Liz Hurley rather than scenes from the James Bond outing of the same name). The one selection that doesn't quite fit the 20-song set is 1988's "I Don't Want Your Love." With Brown's help, they give it their all, but funk-metal isn't really Duran Duran's strong suit (although the song later appears as a 3D bonus feature). The deluxe edition includes a 10-track CD recorded during the same London engagement and a pair of 3D glasses. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Reviews:
Cool
If you're a fan you'll love it. If you're not a fan you will become one. Awesome visual pleasure for the Duran fan
I ordered this set after renewing my love for the band from their latest release, Red Carpet massacre. Boy am I glad I purchased this. It gave me such visual pleasure to see these handsome men performing my favorite songs and introducing me to some songs that I was unaware of. I fell in love with What Happens Tomorrow, Come Undone and Reach Up for the Sunrise for the first time because I hadn't listened to or purchased a Duran Duran CD since their greatest hits came out years and years ago. I have to say I was disappointed with the CD that came in the set. It was great but failed to include the two songs I really liked from the DVD, Come Undone and What Happens Tomorrow. Simon LeBon is absolutely fantastic to watch and I would recommend this set to any "oldtimers" who might have forgotten just how great this band is! Disapointment
The band is not the reason for this bad review, it is those irritating area codes. DVD doesn't work in Europe. The tip to Amazon: please, mention this in the product description! It is totally stupid to purchase a product, then wait it four weeks and the find out that the area code is wrong! I'm going to return this item. Duran Duran Still Rules
I have been a fan since "Hungry Like The Wolf" was first aired on MTV. I have all of their CD's and DVD's, but the "Live From London" DVD is by far my favorite. The band has matured, and they play with passion. It's no longer for the pop chart or to see if they could out rank Spandau Ballet. And the best thing is, they are no longer being chased by a bunch of screaming teenage girls, evidence from the audience in the video. I went to see one show when they toured America in 2005, and they rocked the house. I wish I had also gone to see them in Vegas or L.A. I was pleased that they performed obscure favorites such as "New Religion", "Careless Memories, "The Chauffeur", and "Night Boat". However, it would had been nice if "Is Anyone Out There" was also added to the list. But think about it, this DVD contains 20 songs. How many band can perform 20 live songs night after night in their late 40's? andy taylor wash very cool
a very cool dvd.
